Active Tectonics and Alluvial Rivers

Using river characteristics such as sinuosity, gradient, and behavior to identify areas of active deformation can be of value in elucidating subsurface structure and in determining the cause of local flooding and problems of river stability of some of the world's great rivers, such as the Mississippi, Nile and Indus." "This volume will be of interest to graduate students, consultants and academic researchers in geomorphology, sedimentology and stratigraphy, structural geology, hydrology, geophysics, and geography."--Jacket.
